I stamd on my drinks cans and plastic milk containers. I squash them flat to save space in my recycling bin. The same with cardboard boxes. I also manage to squash food cans quite well. Wear shoes not slippers. Squashing does make a difference to the available space. Four pinter milk containers take up a lot of space before squashing them.

You can buy wall mounted can crushers that work well. I have a SEN relative who loves using it.

I recall when I visited Ilfracombe in North Devon many years ago,they had a "can bank" to recycle your drinks cans.Along side was a can crusher where you could crush the can and reduce the space they took up in the collection point.I visited Ilfracombe recently and the can crusher was not there any more.Do you have any can crushers in your neck of the woods,or know if they are still around.
